Radeon RX 6800M vs Arc A380: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX 6800M vs Arc A380
The Radeon RX 6800M is dramatically faster, around 350% ahead of the Arc A380. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 6800M is comfortable at 1440p, while the Arc A380 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Power & Efficiency
The Arc A380 pulls less power (75W vs 145W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster Radeon RX 6800M draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 12GB against 6GB, the Radeon RX 6800M has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Arc A380's 6GB can fall short.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the Arc A380 brings Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding, while the Radeon RX 6800M offers AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.
Which should you buy: Arc A380 or Radeon RX 6800M?
The Radeon RX 6800M is the faster card by about 350%. Since one of these is a laptop GPU, its listed price covers the whole system rather than just the chip, so it isn't directly comparable — base your decision on the spec differences above.
